SNIA Technical Work

SNIA Technical Work Hero

SNIA’s members share a common goal to advance and 
standardize both established and emerging technologies 
that facilitate and improve data movement, security, 
management, storage, and performance.

SNIA occasionally makes available public review draft copies
of some of the technical work being developed.

If you are interested in participating in any of the following 
projects and your company is already a SNIA Member, then just 
sign up for your free login account. If your company is not a
SNIA Member please see about joining so that you can start 
participating. To find out additional information about a particular 
project contact SNIA at tcmd@snia.org.
